Baker Street

Baker Street is a street in the Marylebone district of Westminster in London, England. It was named after William Baker, who laid out the street in the 18th century. It was originally high-class residential, and, from 1835 to 1884, it was home to the Madame Tussauds museum, which moved just around the corner to Marylebone Road in 1884. In 1940, the SOE headquarters moved to 64 Baker Street, and the Seychelles embassy is located on the street. During the 21st century, Baker Street was occupied by commercial premises.
